The home straight

We are in the home straight to the Great Gathering of the Clans on November 1. I think that there will be RP Highland Games on the Highland Hall Forum. To see a few MacTavishes there would be good. I at least hope to enter in at least one of the competitions (Chief's battle, near the end of the day).

I haven't sent out any more invitations to join our clan today. I feel I've done enough of that. Besides, a lot of the quality candidates have joined a clan by now. I still hope that we'll get one or two more acceptances from those already sent, but am very happy with our clan's membership at present. I think we have a lot to offer Scotland.

I spent a fair bit of time sitting alone in the Whithorn Whistle and Thistle pub or up at MacTavish's Hut, closely examining a lot of maps to help out the Lyons Court in their determination of our 'territory'. Sorry if any of you are historical buffs, but I have opted for our RP version of MacTavish history. I think that will leave us freer to create our own future, and get us out from under the Campbells! I also lodged our historical coat of arms to be considered by the Lyons Court.

I have sent out some invites to various clan leaders, inviting them to visit the Hut on November 1 to commemorate the proclomation of the Founding Clans of Scotland. I hope we get a few MacTavish's passing through also to leave a 'comment' for the future.
